What is functional medicine?2024-02-27T12:06:49-05:00

Functional medicine is a health-care practice that treats the underlying cause of disease and illness, usually doing so as naturally as possible and emphasizing dietary and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements and herbal medicines. Lab testing and intakes are used to guide treatment and determine what an underlying cause of illness or malfunction might be. Functional medicine considers client accessibility to the health practitioner as a necessity through a health building program as client needs do change over time. The practitioner needs to know how a client is responding to recommendations and make adjustments accordingly.

What is included in the Stool Test?2024-02-27T12:06:48-05:00

What is included in the Organic Acids test?2024-02-27T12:06:46-05:00

Organic acids are metabolic intermediates that are produced in pathways of central energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown, or intestinal microbial activity. Accumulation of specific organic acids detected in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block of those pathways. The metabolic block may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up or drug effect. Several of the biomarkers are markers of intestinal bacterial or yeast overgrowth.

  • Fatty Acid Metabolism
  • Energy Production (Citric Acid Cycle)
  • B Complex Vitamin Markers
  • Methylation CoFactor Markers
  • Neurotransmitter Metabolism Markers
  • Oxidative Damage and Antioxidant Markers
  • Detoxification Indicators
  • Bacteria and Yeast Markers

Screens for hidden inflammatory responses to 170 different foods and food-chemicals. It should be noted that food sensitivities are not necessarily permanent. This test allows us to more precisely identify what foods you need to reduce or refrain from during the period when your gut is healing.” Reintroduction of said foods are given my approval and occur after my evaluations indicate you are positioned to do so without detriment.

  • Dairy
  • Chemicals
  • Flavor Enhancers
